I am interested in any information on Antonio Macari. He had a band called 'Macari & the dutch serenaders'. There were 4 all together, they were around in the early to mid 1900's. They played the accordian and im sure they were on a radio show.
Antonio married my great aunt had 3 children in bristol and moved to Courcy Road in London which is now known as the Tottenham area.
Any information would be greatful.

Just playing with my new phone and found these posts about the Macari and Capaldi families! even more excited when I found someone had cut and pasted something I had typed on another site. I am not sure if the pic posted is Anthony Macari, my Grandad. I will show it to my Dad, Larry although his sight is very bad. Sadly Rosa and Joe are no longer with us - remembered with much love and always sadly missed. We have further photo.

The typical Italian lineage dates from circa 1600, and for most of us that's reasonably profound. But who wants to be "typical" when you might be able to trace a lineage into the 1500s or even into the Middle Ages?
